In my young days / was offered the position
of city editor on a Cincinnati paper. and regret
to this day that did not accept 1T. 1t would
have been a great schooling to me and given me
fine opportunity to study human nature.
There is place, scarcely. better fitted to study
human than through the various
channels offered in connection with journal
ism. The interviewer of great metro
politan journal has field to study his fellow
man from that ought to be of inestimable
paper reporter. Then. too, the work of the
journalist is essentially practical and many
things can be learned in general way that
books cannot teach But instead of accepting
edirorship, buried myself in books un til was
twenty-four years old when. through the good
offices Of Col. John Hay and john Nlcolay,

The Growth of song.

tender song in shadow grew.
And humble hearts were homes it knew.
But through its wondrous music stole
The longirgs of the human soul;
The hopes of hosts unsatisfed
Within its numbers wandered wide:
And strangely wet with mournfui tears
It held the yearn;ngs Of the years;
Till millions with their woes oppressed
Proclaim the song Of peace and rest
Till nations in their troubled ways
Find comfort in the joyous lays.
And all the battling race of wrong
Exalts the loving might of song.
All. song that soothes our many cries
With fondIess Of thy lullabies,
We love. we bless, we scepter thee
Proud empress Of the hearts that be!
